Acetylcholine in the interpeduncular nucleus of the rat: normal distribution and effects of deafferentation

Eckenrode, T.C., Barr, G.A., Battisti, W.P., Murray, M.·1987·Brain Research

Abstract

We studied the cholinergic projection to the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) by examining localization of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in the habenula, fasciculus retroflexus (FR) and among the subnuclei of the IPN of the rat, using and antibody raised against ChAT. ChAT-containing neurons were present in the ventral portion of the medial habenula, ChAT-stained axons were present in the FR and ChAT-stained axons and terminals were present in the rostral, central and intermediate subnuclei of the IPN. No ChAT staining was seen in the lateral or dorsal subnuclei. The pattern of ChAT localization was thus complementary to the pattern of the habenular substance P projection to the IPN. Lesions of the FR eliminated all ChAT from the IPN while lesions of the stria medullaris produced a modest decrease. Unilateral FR lesions indicated that the FR projection to the central and rostral subnuclei is largely bilateral and symmetrical and that to the intermediate subnuclei is largely ipsilateral. We found no evidence of lesion-induced plasticity, i.e. replacement of ChAT immunoreactivity, by surviving FR axons in these adult brains.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The MHb contains neurons that produce acetylcholine or substance P, and a small population that produces interleukin-18.

    “MHb is comprised of neurons that produce the neurotransmitters acetylcholine (ACh) or substance P (Cuello et al. 1978;Eckenrode et al. 1987), and a small population that produce the cytokine interleukin-18 (IL-18) (Sugama et al. 2002).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
